I had an old 2001 super flight from high school when I was trying to learn originally. Started again this season and decided to buy this board because I freestyle kayak and knew I would want something more playful eventually. Everyone I talked to on the phone at never summer was super helpful when I had some questions. From my limited knowledge this board seems to be forgiving when flat and seamlessly change edges. It's aggressive when you want it to be but it feels like transitioning edges comes intuitively when going fast or slow. It's very light and flexes across the length on the center axis easily which helped me learn more about initiating both edges at once when turning. My buddy had me go off some small 4.5-6 ft ledges and I surprisingly was able to sort of lad the with no experience. I finally 50/50'd a rail and it felt very stable and natural until the fourth time when I tried to go board-slide and busted my ass. I liked it so much I called them back and bought a longer more stable board and have been gradually getting faster. I'm probably going to keep buying boards from this company exclusively, because of how easy it is to talk to them, the fact that they are a real small business that has made in America snowboards, and how fucking sick the artwork and boards are in general.
Thx Wilson. We're honored.
Never summer faithful rider. Been on these boards for over 10 years. Ridden 10 different versions of NS boards. This board is very similar to the playfulness of a Funslinger/Proto and has the response on carving that you’re looking for when charging. I was able to charge straight line choppy powder, tree runs in powder on top of crust. Send jumps do and everything I wanted to in the park and freestyle. So much response in this board and playfulness. It is the all mountain do it all deck. It handles high speed well and allows you to have control in any conditions.

The Llama 2026 is a work of art, nice feel, good flex and ready for everything!
Used it in the park this past weekend and it was ready for everything! It is rated maintly as a park board, but it can handle its own on the mountain.
Still early in the season, but can't wait to try it once there is more snow in the mountains!
Love how it handles and cuts! Would definitely recommend!
One thing I would of liked is a different graphic for the top and bottom sheet, as it stands they are are both the same, but bottom one is just blown up!
I’ve tried a few boards and my first Neversummer happened to be the Valhalla, highly recommend that as well for freeride. For park though, I fell in love with the recurve triple camber. It’s everything I love about my pure traditional cambered Ride snowboard and the forgiveness of my Valhalla with a super jibby/buttery flex that doesn’t feel unstable on medium jumps. I’ll definitely buy next years if they continue to use real artists like Jimbo, that is just the icing on the cake. Amazing board, amazing art, thank you
